For my Geography project, the city I chose to do it on is Santa Clarita, California. The reason I chose this city is because it is the city where I am currently living in. So thanks for visiting my web page and enjoy!

Chapter 2: Climate in Santa Clarita

In this chapter, the book touches up a section in climate. Stated in the book, climate is: "the aggregate of day-to-day weather conditions, a characterization of weather conditions prevailing across many years." Here in Santa Clarita, I guess you can say that I have the best location because you get to experience all the 4 different seasons of the year.

The four seasons are and their typical months are:

Spring: April, May, June
Summer: July, August, September
Fall: October, November, December
Winter: January, February, March

These months are pretty accurate, but sometimes they either get delayed or come around a month early.

In the spring, you would typically have a weather of a light breeze and around 70-85 degrees. Summer averages in the mid 90's and can reach up around 105+ degrees. It gets pretty hot here but the plus side is it makes it a great time to go swimming everyday anytime! Fall weather is perfect to bring out the light jackets out. With the win picking up, the weather tends to be around 60-70 degrees. It can get colder than that but usually that is the typical average. Winter time here gets pretty chilly. Usually the typical weather around this time is from 40-60 degrees. I have personally felt colder and had experience snow here twice. Both times has been in 2011. Below is a clip from youtube.com from a guy who videoed snow in Santa Clarita.












Places such as the Aquatic Center and Hurricane Harbor are great attractions to go to to hang out in the scorching weather in the summer.
